Don’t hate the haters

There will always be people out there with nothing but negative energy. They hate their job, they hate where they live and they take that bitterness into every moment of their day. They hate us for being positive. So why should we reciprocate and send that hate back to them for being haters?

We can’t hate the haters. Being around negative people makes me want to be even more positive than I already am. It’s better to be hated for who you are instead of being loved for who you are not. Nothing annoys a hater more than your forgiveness. They seek conflict and if they don’t get it, they will just hate you more.

There is a fine balance in the world and we struggle to maintain that level with every ounce of positive energy we have. Being around people who constantly have that dark cloud hovering over them motivates me to make a conscious effort to keep my mood light and happy.

I’m not going to lie and tell you I haven’t had moments of immense dislike within me, but I choose to rise above that venom that can penetrate the soul and find the lesson in the situation that caused that hatred in the first place. My mother always said “it takes all kinds to make the world go round” and I now know what she meant. If it weren’t for the haters, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate being the lovers.

We need to learn to rise above that feeling of hate and figure out what that anger is teaching us. The haters will never have that perspective but we can motivate ourselves to see beyond the malevolence that bubbles within us and move beyond the hate.

Appreciate the haters for teaching us how much better it is to love and be happy. Life is short – appreciate every second of it and don’t waste it being angry. I don’t ever want to look back on my life and say I wasted a single moment dwelling on a feeling that didn’t make my life better.

Thanks for this PSA. Haters need love, too. 🙂 Seriously, though, what’s up with all the haters? They’re destroying the fine sport of negativity. 🙂 A recent Cheerio’s television advertisement peeled back a layer of veneer on 2013 America and exposed an unpalatable underbelly. Pretty amazing in this day and age. I think a lot of people are struggling and taking things out on others.
